DeZURIK launched the new KSV Severe Service Knife Gate Valve, designed especially for highly abrasive services.
The KSV Severe Service Knife Gate Valves come with ANSI B16.34 Class 150 and 300 pressure ratings; bi-directional dead-end shutoff capability; bi-directional drip tight seal; bonnetless design for ANSI 300 service; and a wide variety of hardened seat materials.
The KSV valve has proven itself in numerous abrasive slurry applications such as the oils sands mines in Northern Alberta, Canada, and is being successfully installed in a variety of applications in other industries including high-density (10–12%) pulp stock; digester blow down isolation, bio-fuels production and municipal sludge.
The DeZURIK KSV Severe Service Knife Gate valve is specially designed to withstand high pressures and abrasive slurries – some of the toughest services in mining, (including oil sands processing), steel, power, chemical, municipal sludge, bio-fuels production and paper industries. Its rigid one-piece body, 100% diameter port, hard-faced gate and rotatable seat rings make this valve ideal for the most rigorous applications. KSV valves are pressure/temperature rated to ANSI B16.34 Class 150 and 300 and are available in sizes 3–60″ (80–1500mm).
